A UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Zambezi floodplain — widely considered to offer Africa's finest walking safari experience with extraordinary wild dog and elephant encounters.
The walking safari season runs from April to November when the park is open. July to October is peak season with the best game concentrations along the Zambezi floodplain. October is the hottest but offers the most intense wildlife encounters. The park closes from December to March during the rains.
Park fees $20/adult/day. Self-drive camping at designated sites $15-30/night (must be self-sufficient). Exclusive fly-in camps $600-2,000/night all-inclusive with guided walks, drives, and canoe trips. Canoe safari operators charge $200-400/day for multi-day Lower Zambezi trips.
Charter flights from Harare to Mana Pools airstrips (1-1.5 hours). Road access from Harare (5-6 hours) requires a high-clearance vehicle. The last 80km is a rough gravel track that can be challenging. Self-drive visitors must be fully self-sufficient with food, water, and fuel.
